[PATCH 4.18 137/150] net: bpfilter: use get_pid_task instead of pid_task
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Nov 02 2018 - 14:45:37 EST
4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 84258438e8ce12d6888b68a1238bba9cb25307e2 ]
pid_task() dereferences rcu protected tasks array.
But there is no rcu_read_lock() in shutdown_umh() routine so that
rcu_read_lock() is needed.
get_pid_task() is wrapper function of pid_task. it holds rcu_read_lock()
then calls pid_task(). if task isn't NULL, it increases reference count
of task.
test commands:
%modprobe bpfilter
%modprobe -rv bpfilter
splat looks like:
